On November 13, 2004, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Chapter in Kumasi, Ghana, held its first general meeting. Kwame Anane Frempong, Regional Representative for SWA Ghana, gave a brief welcome to the attendees, stressing the importance of active participation in SWA, especially in the online discussion forums.

Bright Essilfie Kumi, a renowned student speaker and youth activist known for his high intellectual analysis and philosophy, spoke on how students can create wealth for themselves in order to help build up their local communities. World citizen Sammy Abbey Jacobs spoke on the issue of globalization and global citizenship, and why it must be pursued. He made reference to the present crisis in Darfur encouraging members to come together with one universal voice.

He offered thoughts on the HIV/AIDS pandemic as well, and how students could prevent getting infection and help others to avoid it. Members of the new KNUST Chapter look forward to coordinating efforts to bring about positive change for Africa and for the global community.
